#16 Oregon vs #14 Boise State

Well its finally here, the start of the college football season. Tonight we have a very good game pitting the Oregon Ducks against the Boise State Broncos. This game will be played @ Boise State on the famous smurf turf.

Oregon finished last season on an up note as they defeated Oregon State to close out the season. Boise State was 12-0 last year heading into their bowl game vs TCU, Boise State lost a close one 16-17.

The line for this game is Boise State by 3, but I've got other ideas. Last year Boise State was victorious 37-32 in Oregon. Boise State comes into this game knowing that if they lose tonight then they must run the table to get a good bowl game, this is the case because after tonight Boise State has a cake walk of a schedule.

Oregon comes into this game looking for revenge, and a chance to ruin the Broncos season. One particular player for Oregon has had this game on his mind all year long, that player is Oregon QB Jeremiah Masoli. Masoli was knocked out of this game last year with a concussion, and comes into this game hungry for revenge.

PREDICTION

I've got Oregon winning in a barn burner 34-31.

ODDS & ENDS

Oregon will be sporting some fresh new uniforms this year. I will be the first to say I think they are really sick. Also look for the blimp shots of the field to look pretty awesome, Boise State fans are going to coordinate what color they wear by what section they are sitting in.
